Jane baked 331 muffins. She ate 6
q of them and divided the remainder equally among her 5 friends.
- Find the number of muffins each of her friends received in terms of q?
- If q = 16, how many muffins did each of her friends receive?
(a)
Number of muffins left after Jane ate = 331 - 6
qNumber of muffins that each of her friends received =
331 - 6q5 (b)
Number of muffins that each of her friends received
= (331 - (6 x 16)) ÷ 5
= (331 - 96) ÷ 5
= 235 ÷ 5
= 47
Answer(s): (a)
331 - 6q5; (b) 47
